Frontend Developer

This is a remote position open to applicants living in Argentina or Uruguay.

Would you like to work on meaningful, ambitious products with an exceptional team?

Rotunda is seeking a detail-oriented frontend developer to help create a new generation of software tools for non-profits. Our flagship products are actively used by over 3,500 organizations and one million volunteers. The person who fills this position will develop rich user interfaces for these well-established products while also crafting brand new tools to help non-profits make the world a better place. In addition to a passion for building extraordinary user experiences, this position requires strong JavaScript skills, an intuitive sense of aesthetics, and the ability to work well in a fast-paced, flexible, and ego-free environment.

Our modularized frontend framework is built using open source tools developed at Rotunda in conjunction with James Halliday (a.k.a @substack). The view layer of this framework is composed of a proprietary library of interface components. Beneath this library is a unique in-memory database and a GraphQL-like query language that powers a layer of isomorphic application logic. The individual who fills this position will be able to learn, leverage, and iterate on these unique and powerful tools.

Rotunda is a talented, dedicated, international team, passionate about doing meaningful work and building extraordinary products that people love. Our mission is to help people do good things, and our unique culture is rooted in a set of shared values.
